Dance, song and instrumental ensembles are invited to participate in the Festival.

Born from a spontaneous need to awaken the essential values that have characterized our ancestors over the centuries, the 3 editions of the International Folklore Festival "Castle of Bracciano" have generated wide interest in the small town and they immediately received approval from the community. Because the folklore embodies these characteristics of traditional and territoriality that have transformed over the centuries, rituals and customs of people living in what today we can define important cultural resources and economic opportunities.

Transferring from generation to generation the secrets, traditions and customs today tourism and daily life tend to rediscover the value of these ancient origins that depart from handicrafts and folk art to arrive at the traditional festivals and folk customs. Every day the citizens of Bracciano and surrounding area will be entertained with concerts in the square, there will be organized meetings between the groups, games and lessons in folklore for the public, hoping to thus aid the preservation of folk culture and human relations between the countries.

Each participating group will be awarded a Honorary Diploma of Festival Participant, valuable souvenir and a gift, DVD with the film on the Festival events.

· Opening parade in the streets of the town
